Country Superstar Keith Urban Recovering from Throat Surgery

Country singing sensation Keith Urban had a successful throat surgery this past week to remove a polyp from his vocal cord and is reportedly doing fine, according to the singer’s spokesman.

Urban’s spokesman Paul Freundlich said that the singer had the procedure last Tuesday, and he will not be able to speak or sing for about three weeks, and is now recovering at an undisclosed location.

The day before the procedure, Urban posted a video on his website thanking his fans for their support.

He expressed, “I want to thank you for sending such good wishes for my upcoming surgery. I can’t express enough my gratitude to you guys; it feels like family.”

The polyp developed during his recent “Get Closer World Tour 2011,” and in last Monday’s video Urban took note of the fans who had turned out to see him perform during what he called his “crazy great phenomenal year.”

Urban is not the only singer to encounter problems with his vocal cords. In the past month, British pop singer Adele had similar surgery as did Kiss frontman Paul Stanley.

Earlier this week, Liz Loughrey wowed us with her cover of Jessie J’s ‘Who You Are’ and now we’ve got an exclusive interview for you to find out more about this rising Canadian star who is set to be Canada’s biggest export to the States since Justin Bieber.
